Hot Wheels' advent calendar for 2026 (JLG41) is a 34-piece box: ten 1:64 cars behind ten of its 24 doors (one an exclusive snow-globe car with a yeti at the wheel) and fourteen winter accessories such as a reindeer, a sleigh and a gingerbread house behind the rest, with ten ornament clips to hang the cars on the tree, for 26.99 USD across the US, the UK, Europe and Australia. Mattel says what is in the box but not which door holds it, so it is a 3.5 against LEGO's 4; the 2024 edition stays for the record.
